Jesus' Thimble and Lucifers Loch

Milngavie, United Kingdom • 28 Aug 2025

Jesus' Thimble and Lucifers Loch is a social trail run in Milngavie, organized by EpicTrails. Runners meet at Craigton Road near Douglas Academy and traverse Lucifers Loch, then Jesus' Thimble, finishing with a downhill return to Milngavie. Expect boggy, off-road terrain; trail shoes are mandatory and a finish-area shoe change is advised.

Not a race—regrouping points and a steady pace keep everyone together, aimed at those who can run a road 10km in under 60 minutes. It's non-profit, with proceeds supporting costs and a local charity. Limited places (14) at £3; guide is qualified and insured; no dogs or under-18s. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
